I didn't get a Wii

[unwritten]

I tried....the Lord knows I tried. First, I got fucked over by FYE, EVEN THOUGH I PRE-ORDERED IT! Then I tried every other store in a 30 mile radius......nothing. I want to cry, seriously.

I bought Zelda. But I can't play it.

[unwritten]

Someone lick my wounds.

[Burnout2888]

Ouch. How'd they fuck you over?

[kshtoinks12]

I want to cry too. I was ready to camp and everything, but I checked my funds, I only had about 100$ of funds. I'm crushed as well.

[make_this_hurt]

Now come on... do we really need another Wii thread?










In case you were wondering... yes. Yes we do.

[unwritten]

Ouch. How'd they fuck you over?

Well, apparently I didn't preorder it early enough.

I pre'd in Sept. They started taking pres in fucking MAY.

So, now I need to wait for them to call me, which will be never.

[unwritten]

Now come on... do we really need another Wii thread?










In case you were wondering... yes. Yes we do.

Hey, I'm very upset here. I'm holding Zelda in my hands with no way of playing it. It is the ultimate cocktease.

Did you bro get it?

[unwritten]

I'm sooooo impatient!!!!! I don't think I will make it to the next shipment. I just called and asked when they will be getting more Wii's in and she asked when I pre-ordered. I said Sept...she asks, "Of this year?" I replied, "Umm yes?" she laughes at me and tells me I'll be waiting a long time. I called her a cunt and hung up.

[unwritten]

Well, there goes my entire Sunday...

[SingleDoubt]

Well, there goes my entire Sunday...

if you lived anywhere in the Boston area, i'd totally have you come over to play some Zelda. i'm sorry, man. i really do feel for ya

[OveriseFan]

Wait:

Didn't Nintendo have like... a lot of Wii's, unlike Microsoft and Sony.

I thought they weren't doing the whole Supply and Demand bullshit.

Fuck.

[make_this_hurt]

My roommate said there were a ton (like 30 or 40) at my local mejiers... and I heard the walmart here in town was getting over 100. I'm sure I could go find one right now.

they didnt try to, just a lot of people wanted it. they had 120 at my local Best Buy and they were still turning people away

I'm probably going to...

Unless I happen to find out there's a Black Friday deal on it, in which case, I'll take my chances and wait.

[OveriseFan]

Yeah...

But it's still crazy.

I'd drive out into the country.. and find some ghetto wal mart... I bet they still have a few.

Haha, thanks man.

Yeah. It is one of the main reasons I wanted the Wii in the first place....availability.

[make_this_hurt]

Haha, thanks man.

I'm sure you could find one. I just asked a friend of mine, here in BG... he got his at walmart about 30 min ago. They still had about 15 on the shelves... so it really just matters the kind of demand in your area.

I just called my Walmart....sold out.

[unwritten]

NY has to be the worst location to live in in terms of product availability. I live in a state full of trendy fucks.

[Juliana101]

You have Zelda and no Wii. If you ask me, that's suicide worthy.

I preordered Zelda for my gamecube. I knew I wasn't going to get a Wii when I preordered it.

I do hope to get a Wii someday though.

When is it supposed to come out for the Cube?

[Juliana101]

When is it supposed to come out for the Cube?

Like 2 or 3 weeks from now. I preordered it over a year and a half ago. Then it kept getting pushed back and now it's ready to be released in a couple of weeks.

Wow, sounds like you probably wanted to commit suicide a few times waiting all that time.

[Juliana101]

Wow, sounds like you probably wanted to commit suicide a few times waiting all that time.

True statement.

But I waited and waited. Once this game is done, I've experienced everything in life that I've wanted to experience.

For me, that's the worst punishment I could ever have.

[Kif]

Wow, that sucks man. I don't even know what I'm doing in regards to the Wii yet. I'm not even sure if stores where I live are opening midnight.

[JIMMYateEARTH]

I feel you man I was cheeringn for all the people in wal-mart who were waiting to see it the people with tickets wouldn't show up.

Atleast you have a copy of ZELDA I want one

[fedhed7]

Did you bro get it?
No he didn't. He's in college, with no means of getting to a store.

[TheByrus]

the best way to get a wii is to get to best buy when the store opens this tuesday and wed.


considering, youll probably be out for thanksgiving break.

[Darren McLeod]

all sold out in my town. i'll have to pick one up when they get restocked.

When picking up mine from gamestop today the manager told a customer that they are expecting shippments on Black friday.

[whiteboypain]

[vandalsandquinn]

they have not sold any yet!!!

[Chico]

My two brothers are trying to get one, I'm not sure if they got it or not.

[unwritten]

You phrased your statement wrong. We are on a message board. I took what you were saying differently then what you meant.

[niveK]

try gamestops on friday
as stated before the local one says they are gamestops are getting more that day, and the only today was preorders, as in after today no more preorders
also you could call and ask if they have all been picked up, if not ask when they will sell the ones not picked up. usually 48 hours.

[Chico]

They(my brothers) got one from a gamestop. They had no other games though.

ive said the same thing 3 times.

[ascitiesburn101]

i want a Wii..

:sadangel:

No TP for me

[kshtoinks12]

No he didn't. He's in college, with no means of getting to a store.:-(

[yutsmcgee]

My Best Buy had 86. There were 86 people by 6:30 this morning, and about 75 more tried to come late. Luckily I got in line last night and got mine at lucky #16. I can't decide whether I want to keep it or sell it though.

[ascitiesburn101]

keep it.

[make_this_hurt]

keep it.
For realz. It's not like you're gonna make a lot on it anyways.

[yutsmcgee]

For realz. It's not like you're gonna make a lot on it anyways.

I could make about 150 and then buy one from the next shipment coming before christmas

[unwritten]

I took what you were saying as they still have them in stock. But whatever, forget it. They did sell some....this morning and they sold out.

[Drew Beringer]

My neighbors got a Wii and Zelda today, I'm gonna play later.

It sucks hardcore you didn't get one. They didn't even preorder it, they just drove to Target at 5 AM cause they were getting a shipment of like 33 Wii's and they got one.

Yeah, now I regret not doing something like they did. I just didn't know that the store I pre'd it at started taking orders in May (I pre'd in Sept). They probably got like 20 systems in and decided to go down their list. Who knows when they will call me. haha

[Stopher]

That SUCKS...yea, I said to hell with it and I'm jsut gunna wait 'till Christmas. For now I'll just go over my friends house and play his...and be a complete controller hog. :P

[Saves The Night]

I didnt get a wii after standing in line at walmart last night for 8 hours...i was next in line, the dude in front of me got the last one...so i was ashamed...and hurt and so I went to my local target, and found I was able to get one there...I waited outside last night for a total of 16 hours...but I did get my Wii.

I heard a guy at game stop say that they were getting more in around tuesday or wednesday.

[Brandon Allin]

I'm proud to say I own a Wii. My local Best Buy had 37 units, and my friends and I sat outside from 11pm until 8am and we collected units 21, 22, 23, and 24. :-)

Fuck.


I heard that they will have plenty of them in stock before x-mas....

[unwritten]

Second attempt: unsuccessful. Instead of going to EBGames like I was going to, I checked Target, Circuit City and Toys R Us first. Needless to say, by the time I got to EBGames, the line was 20 deep. They got in 6 Wii's. Now I really regret not going on my first instinct and waiting at EB. :-(

[unwritten]

fuck!

[unwritten]

Well, I gave in and got it off eBay for 390. whatever....haha

Wow, I'm not sure why I even thought I'd have a chance at getting a Wii. I've never seen Best Buy so packed. Ugh.

[unwritten]

My gf's uncle found two at a Best Buy. Word.

[unwritten]

It is all coming together.

[drmsofpsilocybi]

i got two of them. My mom had to buy one and I had to buy the other because of the gay ass 1 per customer rule. Why do they have that? They are going to sell out one way or another and I'm sure 100 other people did the same thing we did to get more than one anyway.

Anyway, I got madden and zelda. ive actually been playing more gamecube games on it than Wii games, i still cant quite get the controls down 100%, its definitely going to take some time.
